HUMPBACK WHALES – Close Encounter In Oahu
A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER Dave Sanford sent me the message below.
“I’m so excited I have to tell all my friends what I saw today. Then again they say a picture is worth a thousand words.” Dave wrote.

Dave is a dive instructor and professional photographer who lives and works on Oahu. I was fortunate to have him come to the Big Island and do a photo shoot for my listing known as The Beach Boys’ Estate.
He continued to describe his whale encounter, “The only word that comes to my mind is: Amazing… If you look closely you can see the outline of the mothers back under the baby. They were so close it was scary. The little one was swimming right at me. It was like standing in the middle of railroad tracks with a train coming toward me.”
As a diver, I can tell you this is a dream come true. To hear whale song when you are at 60 feet will make you smile in your regulator. It always brings that secret hope you might actually be lucky enough to see a whale in the water. To have one approach close enough to take a photos – well – I’d probably forget to press the button.
If you are interested in working or diving with a great photographer, I’ll be happy to put you in touch with Dave.
